[Intro] x8
C
[Verse]
C F C
Runnin' for the mountains, yeah I got a heavy load that's been hauntin' my day
F C
Fightin' my old demons, seems like it's gettin' a lot harder these days
G F C
But I'm doin' what I can, runnin' from my crazy ways
C F C
Tattoo'd and branded, shootin' down things, doin' it my own way
F C
Livin' like an outlaw, lovin' all the pain, the hard times comin' my way
G F C
No I'm not losing myself to the changin' ways of to- day
C F C
Busted held for ransom, yeah, I've done my time getting beat by the man
F C
Driftin' stoned and lonesome, yeah, I know how to get by the best that I can
G F C
Yeah, I'm lookin' for a mountain to wash my dirty hands
[Chorus]
F C
Hey, I'm lookin' for a mountain that I wanna call home
F C
Yeah, I'm lookin' for a mountain a place to rest my bones
G F C
And I just want to breathe that mountain air until I'm gone
G F C
Yeah, I just want to breathe that mountain air until I'm gone

[Verse]
C F C
Runnin' on empty, I've been speedin' so hard my eyes are turnin' gray
C F C
Feelin' mean and shaky from all the hell raisin' that I've done for the day
G F C
Now I'm headin' down south tryin' to find a better way
[Chorus]
F C
Hey, I'm lookin' for a mountain that I wanna call home
F C
Yeah, I'm lookin' for a mountain a place to rest my bones
G F
Yeah, I know I've been ridin' high and I made mama cry
C
'Cause I've been busted my whole damn life
G F
Yeah, I know I've been ridin' high and I made mama cry
C
'Cause I've been busted my whole damn life
[Outro]
C
Hell, I've been busted my whole damn life, yeah, I've been busted my whole damn life
Well, I've been busted my whole damn life, well, I've been busted
Yeah, I know how to run, I know how to survive
